Sustainable Textile and Dye Workshop

Learn how to get more out of your wardrobe and used fabrics! We’ll explore upcycling and re-design with weaving, knitting, dyeing techniques, alteration and repair. Our sustainable fashion expert, Kelly Cobb will be demonstrating a variety of techniques from her mobile studio; weaving on a loom, using rope making equipment, sewing machine and dye station. This is a great workshop for looking to reduce waste, as well as anyone curious about working with textiles.

Everyone will get to create and experiment in an open studio style. We’ll all get to do a dyeing project using the hapazome technique on recycled scarves. Hapazome is a fun dye process that involves beating the color of a plant or flower into cloth! Bring a pair of old jeans, t-shirts and old cloth shirt (like a button-down) to experiment with.
